BREAKING: Fire reported on nuclear submarine in Maine( update)

It has an active nuclear reactor, and is on fire.

It's not black smoke. And the nuclear reactor is in the center of the ship and the artillery is in the forward of the ship. It'd have to spread quite a ways to do any damage. And that's IF it's armed. You're making a lot of assumptions.

Every news article states "billowing black smoke"

HOLY SHIT IT"S BEEN ON FIRE FOR 2 HOURS NOW!!!

Short time lapse that video feed, clear as day the fire been going sense 6:19!!!


THis cant be good, WTF is in a sub that can burn right???

Something is smelling like sh!t

Seeing it on tv now - it's black smoke.

If the reactor is "Armed"??? You sound smart for being a fracking idiot!

if it's in drydock the reactor is probably not active and any power to the ship is more than likely and external source. so this could be an electrical fire of some sort, hopefully they get it out quick with as little damage to the sub as possible

And it's black smoke fool.

KITTERY, Maine — Multiple firefighters were reportedly injured while battling a fire aboard the USS Miami nuclear-powered attack submarine Wednesday evening at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, according to a shipyard official and emergency radio communications.

Firefighters were initially called to the Shipyard just before 6 p.m. for a report of a fire on a ship in dry dock. According to emergency scanner traffic, fire crews encountered heavy smoke and fire and two firefighters were taken from the scene with injuries. Two additional firefighters were later reported as requiring transport from the scene

This as well, honestly, what could be burning for hours in a metal sub other than something with the nuke's or the reactor

It doesn't carry nuclear missiles.

What's most likely burning is the insulation.

I'm the idiot? I'll be the one laughing at all of you doomtards when this turns out to be nothing but an electrical fire. Douche.

What could be burning for so long a billowing black smoke on a metal submarine?

Um that's where they keep the torpedo's, no?

Quick, Arm the reactor!



It is electrical, with the source of the power... How often do fire fighters get injured w/ a simple electrical fire?

Dont forget, these compartments have Halon fire suppression systems, top end. They can put a fire out under the ocean but they need fire fighters for this one? Nah....

+1

It's basically like a house in a tube; so all that shit is burning.

correct

it may be due to torpedo fuel
leakage.

there is already a Russian sub
on the bottom due to this same
scenario.

Nothing to see here folks. That nuke could sit directly IN the fire for HOURS and not blow.

Source?

kursk

a nuke will not BLOW, it has to be armed , shooting one proton to another,witch creates a nuclear fushion
